One of the most important observations in 1984 is one of the least noted; NewSpeak involves disguising the workings of dictatorial power behind a pantomime of its opposite. The propaganda arm of the regime is called the Ministry of Truth ("Minitrue" in NewSpeak). The military arm is called the Ministry of Peace ("Minipax").

We need to keep this in mind when we see governmental entity called the Ministry of Regulation, or the Department of Government Efficiency.
